What propells the space shuttle in space?
nothing, air causes drag and there is no air in space. a space shuttle when idling only uses small thrusters to keep it on track.
What is the air composition in space?
I assume here that by "air composition" you mean the material between planets and stars. Typically space is nothing; or rather almost nothing. You can think of it as a very big room where all the air has been sucked out and the preassure is zero or very close to zero. That being said there is actually material floating around out there: planets, asteroids, stars and even big clouds of different types of gas. So to answer your question, you can't really talk about "air composition" in space, because mostly there is nothing at all.

What is the difference in atmospheric flight and space flight?
When we fly on earth or on other planets, we call this atmospheric flight. When we fly without the forces of a planet pulling on the spacecraft, which only occurs in space, hence we call it space flight. The reason these are differentiated is because of whether or not there are air molecules are present. With air molecules (atmospheric flight) Bernoulli's Principle applies, which explains air flow, and in the space flight it does not apply.
What has nothing in it not even air?
A vacuum is a space in which all air has been sucked out.

I believe that would be called return air.
How does the sun smell?
Like nothing because there is no air in space to carry the scent
